PEERLESS GENIUS SYSTEM II

Chapter 215: You're Making Fun of Me

Su Xiaobei spoke softly with a solemn expression, taking the oath very seriously. In the eyes of an adult, it was no more than a childish act. But not for Bei Bei, as far as she was concerned the moment they hooked their fingers, this promised would be fulfilled.

And after they both hooked their pinkies, she wiped her tears away and smiled. She said, “Daddy, you must bring me to the fun park next time, okay.”

“Why don’t you ask your mother to bring you?” Xiao Luo asked. He spoke gently, still holding on to her pinky.

Su Xiaobei lowered voice and replied, “Mom’s always busy. Only Aunt Luo takes me out.”

Xiao Luo didn’t know how to react to what she said and could only offer a weak smile, feeling a bit awkward.

Su Li felt very hurt on the inside. Su Xiaobei wasn’t her biological daughter, but regardless, she had always treated her like her own. At times when she was busy at work, It was true that it was that she didn’t get the chance to spend quality time with Su Xiaobei. Even when they first arrived in Jiangcheng, Su Xiaobei pleaded for Su Li to accompany her out. But instead, Su Li asked her assistant, Luo Pingxiang, to take her, which ended in her being abducted.

…

…

As they were leaving, Su Li glanced at Xiao Luo again, he was different from the others. He hardly reacted to seeing her when he returned to his residence earlier. For the duration she had been there, he had remained as calm throughout, and she could tell that he wasn’t putting on an act. He seemed to have a good temperament and was not easily rattled, he was at one with himself.

How could he remain so calm?

Su Li couldn’t quite put her finger on it.

Miss Chai, the manager, remained behind. She had another issue to resolve with Xiao Luo and Zhang Dashan. Her job was now to ensure that both the men kept silent about this incident involving Bei Bei and Su Li. The world of entertainment is a fickle business, and the slightest scandal could cause a celebrity’s reputation to plunge drastically. If word got out that Su Li had a daughter, the entire nation could react unfavorably, and Su Li could stand to lose a considerable chunk of her fan base in the course of a single night. It wasn’t an exaggeration, but lessons learned from a painful history. As her manager, it was Chai Zhiying’s role to mitigate any such risks to Su Li.

Tap!

The manager unceremoniously placed a bank card on the table.

Chai Zhiying looked down her nose at Xiao Luo and Zhang Dashan, she said, “Let me introduce myself. My name is Chai Zhiying, and I am Su Li’s manager. I’ll make it quick and simple. As a reward for saving Beibei, we express our deepest gratitude.” She paused then said, “There are eight million dollars in this card. The password is six “one”s. Each of you will get four million dollars. It is enough for you to live a great life in any city you wish.”

“I think we’ve already said that we don’t need your money, right?”

Zhang Dashan said it mockingly. He did not have a good impression of her and disliked her overbearing attitude, acting as if she were above others.

Xiao Luo took a sip of his tea and asked, “Is this at Miss Su’s insistence?”

“No, this is on my insistence.”

“Please be clear, this money is not to thank you for rescuing Bei Bei. I believe you should know what I mean,” she said, as she stood looking down at them with her arms folded together.
